Donald Trump’s recent state visit to the UK drew global attention, particularly at the Wednesday state banquet hosted by King Charles at Windsor Castle. Melania Trump’s outfit became a hot topic, sparking debate across social media.
Melania arrived in a yellow dress with a striking pink belt. Photos of the outfit quickly spread online, with people arguing over whether the dress was bright yellow, light yellow, or butter yellow—and whether the belt was pink or purple.
Stylist Liz Teich told the Daily Mail the confusion was due to lighting and photo editing, confirming the dress was mustard yellow and the belt lilac. The royal court later posted an official photo that matched the stylist’s assessment.
Reactions were mixed. Some criticized the outfit’s color and Melania’s bare shoulders, questioning its appropriateness for a formal event. Others speculated the fashion choices were symbolic—Melania in yellow and Queen Camilla in blue—representing support for Ukraine through the colors of its flag.
